My wife's grandfather served at Gallipoli then the Somme with the KOSB. I just couldn't imagine the horrors they must have endured and it was something he never talked about. Not an experience anyone should have to bear. We have an embroidered picture of the various locations he served in. He left it in a shed after the war to deteriorate and fall to pieces. I wonder if the memories were just too painful to recall and were best forgotten.
